Game Thread: Illinois vs Penn State

[New Creation]

I guess the game plan is to give it to DD on offense and let DD give back on D?

LOVE our advantage on the glass. Keep exploiting that. We have 10+ more shot attempts than them, and we’re going to be tough for them to beat, even if they hit shots.

 

[Godard]

Hey...five minutes in and we aren't down 10. I call that a victory!

I'm surprised, too. Playing with a modicum of urgency.

Do not like this line up, Too offensively challenged with Harris and Rodgers in at the same time. Not the right game situation for them in my mind.

 

[lstewart53x3]

If we can keep it within 15 at the half, I like our chances

 

[pruman91]

I’ve been lurking. Life’s been life, but I’m here.

I know what you mean.....February was not a good month for me , but we must keep moving forward ..........let's keep moving forward tonight with a revenge win and get this Illini train rolling...................

Love to see Mayer hitting the backboards...by rebounding and not with his shot.

Are you sure?

Coleman getting killed

 

[NarrowJ]

So we're going to overplay to guard the 3 and just give up back cuts

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Getting shredded on the backcuts. Gotta be more attentive.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Not defending the back cut needs to stop. Hawkins twice, Shannon once.

 

[Bigtex]

Is that 3 buckets from the guy Hawkins is guarding?

 

[azillini1]

Not defending the back cut needs to stop. Hawkins twice, Shannon once.

Why can't we run a few of those?

 

[hoopsfan47]

jeez, do they miss mid range?

Most teams will hit mid range shots early and miss late with tired arms and legs...and these Cats can shoot.

 

[BBlock24]

What does Penn State do that Illinois can’t defend?

 

[New Creation]

PSU just running NBA sets left and right... gesh guys a good coach

 

[grantlab]

So Cam Wynter gonna go for 30 then? Got it.

 

[Thaillini22]

Our win probability % has dropped from 63 to 50 already!

 

[KrushCow31]

If LukeGoode posts right now, then he isn't the real Luke. But if he doesn't, he is. Just saying.

 

[PNWIllini]

Just like we drew it up

 

[Illini_Jack]

Have we ever gone 0-3 verse Penn St in a season before?

 

[SaintLIllini]

pickett is ridiculous

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Big play by Goode there.
